x86-Ruby Start Command Prompt with Ruby on Windows x64 disappers in Windows Start Menu View

What problems are you experiencing?

There is 'Ruby Start Command Prompt' in installed-Ruby 2.7.2-1-x86 with MSYS2 Start menu folder but it disappears from Start menu view on Windows10(x64).

Steps to reproduce

1 Install Ruby+Devkit 2.7.2-1(x86) on Windows 10 (x64). 2 Click 'Ruby 2.7.2-1-x86 with MSYS2' folder in Windows Start Menu View, then 'Interactive Ruby', 'Ruby 2.7.2 API Reference' and 'RubyGems Documentation Server' icons appear but 'Start Command Prompt with Ruby' disappear. 3 Open the short cut folder, 'Start Command Prompt with Ruby' short cut exists. 4 This short cut links 'System32 cmd.exe' but 'SysWOW64 cmd.exe'. 5 I try to modify this short cut to 'SysWOW64 cmd.exe', then it appears in Windows Start Menu View.

What's the output from ridk version?

Hi @naoki-akamatsu - this issue is almost 2 years old. Should we close this?

Hi @naoki-akamatsu - I will close this issue. If you or @larskanis feel that we should re-open it, we'll do that. Thanks!

Some start menu entries were broken. Current master branch has several fixes to them. I hope that fixes this issue as well. Nevertheless Windows-10 seems to have some own rules to what it presents in the start menu.
